However, our humanitarian action faces enormous challenges in a world of uncertainty and so many complex and multidimensional crises.
International attention is diverted from protracted and inconspicuous crises and there is a lack of resources to guarantee the continuity of aid to the people who need it most and to sustain the local action of the organizations and humanitarian workers that work closest to the affected communities.
Natural and climatic disasters and health emergencies are multiplying and reaching an unprecedented magnitude.
Parties to armed conflict and situations of violence ignore some of the most basic rules of humanitarian law and hinder the free and safe access of neutral and impartial humanitarian aid to vulnerable people. Although there are those who question the notion of humanitarian principles, principled humanitarian action remains as vital as ever.
Our Red Cross and Red Crescent family is at the forefront of humanitarian assistance, ensuring protection for those who need it most. The world has witnessed the growing effectiveness of our Movement in responding to overlapping crises and delivering principled humanitarian assistance. Our strength lies in our unity, our determination to advance the ideals of neutral, impartial and independent humanitarian action, and our commitment to the humanitarian cause.
Today, we celebrate the millions of Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers who, day after day in their respective countries, regions and communities, carry forward Henry Dunant’s will to bring hope and dignity to people in situations of vulnerability, without distinction or personal interest.
Happy World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day! #From the heart
